Small-Scale Question Sunday for July 9, 2023

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

I'm at the chapters ranging in the 1300s in Reverend Insanity.

The more I read, the more I see why it's so heavily recommended.

The author is an absolute god at using Chekov's gun without making it glaring, he's juggling enough plot threads that at this point he doesn't need to toss them up anymore, he can just stack them into a skyscraper. So many things the reader didn't even realize needed explanation all fall into place, and even when Xianxia offers more avenues for an author to bullshit his way out of corners, he does his work to make payoffs feel earned. If the character has a relevant ability that the reader would be screaming if it wasn't used, you bet it is.

While it's not as gutbustingly funny as 40 Millenniums of Cultivation, it had me cackling quite a bit lately. I also feel bad for how many poor bastards the sociopathic MC just uses and throws away, but after you see the shit he went through in his first life after transmigration, you can see why becoming an amoral bastard seems reasonable. I'm still shocked at how utterly unscrupulous he can be, especially when he uses his total shamelessness to mindfuck the competition.
